Presentation
Discussions on the immunoregulation and immunological tolerance by T cells and the growth control of mammalian cells are also presented in this volume. [books.google.com]
For the latter reason, the term immunoglobulin has been proposed to denote these proteins.2 At the present time three major classes of immunoglobulins are recognized, designated gamma2, gamma1A and gamma1M. [nejm.org]
The present report is primarily concerned with the roentgenologic appearance of these nodular defects in 10 patients. [pubs.rsna.org]

- Asymptomatic
Excerpt To the Editor: I would like to disagree with a statement made by the authors of the paper entitled, "'Asymptomatic' Type I Dysgammaglobulinemia in Siblings" (Ann. Intern. Med. 68: 867, 1968). [acpjournals.org]
Though affected persons may be asymptomatic, low levels of IgA will reduce the immune system's ability to combat infection where IgA is normally secreted, at mucosal surfaces. [ebi.ac.uk]

The immunodeficiency has been associated with some clinical disorders including recurrent infections, atopy, Bloom's syndrome, celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and malignancy, but, surprisingly, SIgMD seems to also occur in asymptomatic individuals [howlingpixel.com]
Asymptomatic patients with XLP should be periodically monitored for immunoglobulin levels, evidence for EBV exposure, and signs of development of other manifestations of disease. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
- Recurrent Infection
infections.[5298] XLP1 is caused by mutations in the SH2D1A gene, and XLP2 is caused by mutations in the XIAP gene. [rarediseases.org]
High incidences of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections (77%), asthma (47%) and allergic rhinitis (36%) have also been reported. [howlingpixel.com]
Individuals with dysgammaglobulinemia are prone to recurrent infections. Cancers of immune system cells (lymphomas) occur in about one-third of people with XLP. Without treatment, most people with XLP survive only into childhood. [medlineplus.gov]
Infants can present with severe and overwhelming infections. Older children may present with recurrent sinopulmonary infections secondary to encapsulated organisms and an increased incidence of gram-negative septicemia. Gupta S, Gupta A. [emedicine.medscape.com]

He was further investigated at this point when a routine immunological workup showed an elevated IgM level with low IgG and IgA levels, prompting the need to consider hyper IgM syndrome (Table 1). [mdpi.com]
